Can a Manager at Accenture request an analyst to be fired? My manger doesn’t do anything and puts all the pressure on me. He once told me that he can request for me to get fired. Please help!

Oh lord. This sounds like a toxic situation. I would talk to your performance manager about this. They can technically move you to another engagement but this just doesn’t sound like a good situation in general and you should lean on your performance manager to manage up

Agree this managers behavior constitutes an HR violation, OP, document this in case they turn on you. With it documented, the company will think twice before they do anything to you, as it means potential lawsuit

Involve your career counselor! And try to get the threat on tape to avoid a he-said-she-said situation, unless you already have the threat in email format. The manager might say you are just misinterpreting feedback. Maybe use a voice recorder app on your phone. This way, if the manager denies it, you have proof, and the manager's credibility is shot.

HR email - start drafting

🤣that’s a ridiculous statement. If she/he has the proof then they cannot stand up for shit.

Raise to your counselor /and leadership.

Second D1’s comment. Talk to your career counselor on this - moving to the next project might just do the trick. I see plenty of analysts who don’t do well on one project but totally rock on the next engagement.

Talk to your cc and talk to your HR. I had something similar and I got rolled off the project within three weeks. Accenture is pretty good like that.

If that manager is your CC you can request to have your CC changed. You can even find your own CC by finding someone you gel with, get their ok and inform hr.

To answer your question, no manager does not have the power to fire you. Even your cc don't have the power to fire you. But they can give you bad feedback at performance review and eventually it gets bad enough. But still really hard to fire someone that's chargeable.

My husband and I worked together at the same company for a year in different departments and they laid off 25 employees last week. My husband was one of them. 💔
It was dealt with poorly and severance benefits were bad compared to other companies we are seeing in the media. I’m really struggling to move forward and heal. The priority is for me to support him finding a new job but I just feel sick giving my time and energy to this company when they did this to us. any advice for strength😔

Anyone here familiar with the hiring process of KPMG consulting in Van? Had a partner interview on Nov 21, thought the feedback was positive but haven't heard back yet (no rejection/offer). Is it something normal or the interview just didn't go as well as I thought?

It's an experienced hire for an SC role. I saw the posting is still open atm, and my guess is that the recruiting team is comparing candidates since competition is higher due to recent layoffs.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone else notice a trend with the mass amounts of layoffs in tech? Why are all their resumes so jumpy? Not like 2-5 years jumpy, like few months at a time jumpy?

IMO, lots of these people get hired by their rich friends, stay a few months before someone realized they aren’t qualified and were just a recommendation from a current employee. Then repeat that process over and over until your company is down 50%

I worked as a technical PM for a medium-sized adtech company in NYC in charge of 2 technical teams, and the business intelligence team.

On Thursday I was informed by the lead PO and HR that leadership had decided that the project management office was no longer necessary for the company and all three of us, the director and the two technical PMs, were being let go. None of us were given any notice.

They offered me 2 weeks of severance pay and I negotiated it to 3.
